Recipe Introduction


A medley of Thai flavorings livens up jalapeño-spiked ground turkey burgers. Top them with your choice of lettuce, tomato slices, basil leaves, cilantro, mint, Thai peanut sauce, mayonnaise, cucumber slices, and garlic or chile paste.







List of Ingredients



• SPICE MIXTURE:
  
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  
• 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  
• 1/2 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  
• 1/2 tablespoon green Thai curry paste
  
• 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
  
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut milk (from 5.5-oz. can)*
  
• BURGERS:
  
• 1 1/4 lb. ground turkey
  
• 2 carrots, grated (about 1 cup)
  
• 1 small onion, finely diced
  
• 1 to 2 jalapeno chiles, veins and seeds removed, finely diced
  
• 1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
• 1 egg
  
• 1/2 cup unseasoned dried bread crumbs
  
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  
• 8 sandwich buns, split
  






Instructions



1. In small bowl, whisk together all spice mixture ingredients.
   
2. In large bowl, stir together turkey, carrots, onion, chiles, bell pepper and salt. Add spice mixture; stir until well-combined. Stir in egg and bread crumbs. Shape mixture into 8 (4-inch) patties. (Burgers can be made to this point and frozen up to 1 month. Defrost before cooking.)
   
3. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil; heat until hot. Add 4 of the patties; cover and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until browned and no longer pink in center, turning once. Repeat with remaining burgers, adding remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Serve in buns; top with favorite condiments.
